<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">The
Academic Senate of the University of California has
passed an Open Access Policy, ensuring that future
research articles authored by faculty at all 10 campuses
of UC will be made available to the public at no charge.
The Academic Councils adoption of this policy on July
24, 2013, came after a six-year process culminating in
two years of formal review and revision, said Robert
Powell, chair of the Academic Council. Councils intent
is to make these articles widelyand freely available
in order to advance research everywhere. Articles will
be available to the public without charge via
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.escholarship.org" target="_blank">eScholarship</a>
(UCs open access repository) in tandem with their
publication in scholarly journals. Open access benefits
researchers, educational institutions, businesses,
research funders and the public by accelerating the pace
of research, discovery and innovation and contributing
to the mission of advancing knowledge and encouraging
new ideas and services.
</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Chris
Kelty, Associate Professor of Information Studies, UCLA,
and chair of
<span style="">the UC University Committee on Library
and Scholarly Communication (UCOLASC),</span>
explains, This policy will cover more faculty and more
research than ever before, and it sends a powerful
message that faculty want open access and they want it
on terms that benefit the public and the future of
research.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">The
policy covers more than 8,000 UC faculty at all 10
campuses of the University of California, and as many as
40,000 publications a year. It follows more than 175
other universities who have adopted similar so-called
green open access policies. By granting a license to
the University of California prior to any contractual
arrangement with publishers, faculty members can now
make their research widely and publicly available,
re-use it for various purposes, or modify it for future
research publications. Previously, publishers had sole
control of the distribution of these articles. All
research publications covered by the policy will
continue to be subjected to rigorous peer review; they
will still appear in the most prestigious journals
across all fields; and they will continue to meet UCs
standards of high quality. Learn more about the policy
and its implementation here:

<p><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">UC is the largest
public research university in the world and its faculty
members receive roughly 8% of all research funding in
the U.S. With this policy UC Faculty make a commitment
to the public accessibility of research, especially, but
not only, research paid for with public funding by the
people of California and the United States. This
initiative is in line with the recently announced White
House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)
directive requiring each Federal Agency with over $100
million in annual conduct of research and development
expenditures to develop a plan to support increased
public access to results of the research funded by the
Federal Government. The new UC Policy also follows a
similar policy passed in 2012 by the Academic Senate at
the University of California, San Francisco, which is a
health sciences campus.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">"The
UC Systemwide adoption of an Open Access (OA) Policy
represents a major leap forward for the global OA
movement and a well-deserved return to taxpayers who
will now finally be able to see first-hand the published
byproducts of their deeply appreciated investments in
research said Richard A. Schneider, Professor,
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and chair of the Com</font></p>
<font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">mittee on Library and
Scholarly Communication at UCSF. The ten UC campuses
generate around 2-3% of all the peer-reviewed articles
published in the world every year, and this policy
will make many of those articles freely available to
anyone who is interested anywhere, whether they are
colleagues, students, or members of the general public"</font>
<p>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><br>
</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">The
adoption of this policy across the UC system also
signals to scholarly publishers that open access, in
terms defined by faculty and not by publishers, must be
part of any future scholarly publishing system. The
faculty remains committed to working with publishers to
transform the publishing landscape in ways that are
sustainable and beneficial to both the University and
the public.
